Bridget starred in several movies in the ’90s before retiring from acting in 2002. Her credits include The Godfather Part III, Single White Female, Jackie Brown, A Simple Plan and Lake Placid.
The former actress’ final movie was 2001’s The Whole Shebang with Stanley Tucci. However, she went on to star in the 2002 television film Snow Queen, which marked her last acting appearance.
Bridget was born to a family of actors, including her father, Peter Fonda, and aunt, Jane Fonda.
She is married to composer Danny Elfman, with whom she welcomed son Oliver in 2005.
The couple were photographed in public for the first time in more than a decade in April, when they were seen returning to their L.A.-area home after an apparent trip.
At the time, Bridget was seen smiling as she carried her bags, while Elfman, 72, rolled a large blue suitcase.

In a 1993 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Bridget opened up about the pressures she was experiencing in her career.
“I’m sort of trying to be happy with my career. I think I should give myself a break, but I’ve got this bug that rides me. You know, you should be doing better. So every time I work, I’m frustrated with my physical inability to catch up to my mental picture,” she said.
